MODERATORS
I actually don't use steam much anymore, most games I play have their own shitty launcher that isn't supported on Linux, like Honkai Star Rail.
Yeah, Mihoyo is actively hostile towards Linux users, people have made patches in the past to make their games work on Linux, but Mihoyo usually ends up sending legal threats and getting those people taken down, or adding their own patches that make the previous patches not work anymore. If not for that, I guarantee their games would be easily playable on Linux.
If you're interested though, I can send a DM with an alternative. I don't actually use it myself but I've heard good things about it. Unlike with Mihoyo, it doesn't include spyware that stays open after you close the game, stays around after you uninstall, or automatically starts up whenever you boot.
